Ex On The Beach Hunk Joshua Ritchie Jokes About Worries That Stephanie Davis' Baby Could Be His

In a plot twist that we didn't see coming throughout Stephanie Davis' whole pregnancy journey, Ex On The Beach hunk Joshua Ritchie has revealed that he's worried he could be the actual father of her baby...

Well, sort of.

Steph gave birth to a little baby boy last week, and has maintained throughout her pregnancy that Jeremy McConnell, who she shared a romance with in last year's Celebrity Big Brother, is the father - though he has denied the claims.

Now, Josh has joked that he feels 'worried' that HE could actually be the father to the newborn, after the two slept together last year.

A post shared by 🅢🅣🅔🅟🅗🅐🅝🅘🅔 (@stephaniedavis88) on Jan 14, 2017 at 9:20am PST

They were initially linked in May, with footage of the pair in bed together emerging in May.

Speaking to The Sun after appearing on their Facebook Live chat, Josh joked: "I slept with Steph nearly a year ago. I'm worried - she could be turning up on my doorstep with the baby any time soon."

Sure, Josh's comments were obviously made in jest - but imagine having our first Ex On The Beach baby, eh?

Away from baby dilemmas, Josh also revealed which other reality stars he'd hit the penthouse with on the show, revealing: "How would I have felt if Jasmin had walked on? Rocket, I would have got with her.

"Vicky Pattison - she's a rocket."

Next series of Ex, anyone?

A spokesperson for Josh had no comment when contacted by MTV.

Don't miss the brand new series of Ex On The Beach, starting TONIGHT, Tuesday 17th January at 10pm - only on MTV!
